Contractubex Gel (Extractum Cepae/Heparin/Allantion)

1. What is Contractubex Gel used for?

Contractubex Gel is a topical scar treatment used to reduce and improve the appearance of scars from surgery, injuries, burns, acne, or stretch marks. It helps soften, flatten, and smoothen the scar tissue over time.

2. How does Contractubex Gel work?

It contains three active ingredients: Extractum Cepae (onion extract) with anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, Heparin that promotes blood flow and tissue regeneration, and Allantoin which softens scar tissue and relieves itching.

3. How should I apply Contractubex Gel?

1. Clean and dry the scar area thoroughly.
2. Apply a small amount of Contractubex Gel to the affected area.
3. Massage gently for a few minutes until fully absorbed.
4. Apply 2-3 times daily for several weeks or months depending on scar age and type.

4. How long does it take to see results?

Visible improvement may begin in a few weeks, but optimal results typically require consistent use for 3 to 6 months, especially for older or hypertrophic scars.

5. Can Contractubex be used on old scars?

Yes, Contractubex can be effective on both new and old scars. However, treatment duration may be longer for older scars—up to several months of regular application may be needed.

6. Is Contractubex suitable for acne scars?

Contractubex Gel can be used to reduce the appearance of post-acne scars, especially those that are raised or red. It may not be as effective for deep-pitted scars (ice-pick scars).

7. Are there any side effects of using Contractubex Gel?

• Mild skin irritation or redness
• Itching or dryness
• Rare allergic reaction

These side effects are usually temporary. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation persists.

Yes, you can apply makeup after the gel has been fully absorbed. Wait a few minutes after application to ensure the gel penetrates properly.

9. Is Contractubex safe for children?

Yes, Contractubex can be used on children under medical guidance. It is often recommended for surgical or injury-related scars in pediatric patients.

10. Where can I buy Contractubex Gel?
